Where can I find a scan to show stocks bouncing off the 50 day moving average?

A few questions to be sure I do this correctly for you...

1. Is your MA simple or exponential?

2. What makes something a "bounce"? I need you to elaborate on this.

MA is simple.

A bounce is using the 50 day ma as support.It may touch it or come close to it , then rise above it again.

I need to know how you want to define "close to it" exactly.

I also need to know how long ago you want to allow the "close to it" to happen before you abandon the pattern.

For "close to" let's say touches it (or equals.
How about yesterday (today-1). Will that work?

Sure. Try this:

L1<=AVGC50.1 AND H1>=AVGC50.1 AND L2>AVGC50.2 AND L>AVGC50
